Episode 15
Episode 10. Stealing (2)
Yuma and Marlon threw the rope they prepared over the old castle wall and walked. Yugir looked at the boys, wary of his surroundings.
‘I feel like a real thief.’
Yuma thought as he climbed the rope and slowly entered the castle.
He was definitely a professional thief, starting with his attire. A tight black tunic, a black hat, and a black mask.
Even the sword he had brought was painted black to reduce light reflection.
Yuma and Marlon climbed the castle at a very slow pace to make as little noise as possible.
Yuma only practiced tightrope walking a few times while organizing the work team. Climbing up the rope felt much more tiring than using a sword.
‘Why do you climb the rope as much as I do after practicing for several hours?’
Tightrope walking was one of the basic training of the Black Wolf.
‘There’s something I can’t do.’
Yuma and Marlon giggled a little and climbed the wall.
This is the situation in the empty lot inside the old castle that the boys are completely unaware of.
“Hanson seems to be sleeping outside.”
Hanson was the name of the mercenary who was killed by Yugir.
“That bastard slept every time he was on field duty. I saw you sleeping when I went to pee last time.”
“Hey, let’s talk small talk here. How boring is the outdoors.”
“I don’t mean that. They are intruders.”
The head of the mercenaries said.
He heard the sound of the rope hook hitting the wall and was observing it closely.
“I’ll be doing some work for a while.”
“How long is it? Shall we bet who they will be?”
“It doesn’t matter who they are.
‘Cause I’ll die anyway It seems to be two.”
“I vote for the young couple who came to the secret location. Climbing too slow.”
“dog sound! What crazy couple lined up here to have some fun?”
“I hope it’s not kids.”
“why?”
“Kids hate it when you kill them. The 10-year-old kid I killed by accidentally coming here a few months ago still appears in my dreams from time to time.”
“It’s funny. I killed something I could have just let go.”
“Damn Stell. You can’t bounce this with money.”
The mercenaries jumped onto the sidewalk above the outer wall of the old castle. As soon as Yuma and Marlon climbed up the rope, they faced four sword experts.
“uh? What are these?”
“Wow, I thought you were a ghost because you were all black, bastards.”
Not a mischievous couple or kids who didn’t want to kill them, but two dark people in full-fledged costumes came up, and the mercenaries stood up and cursed at each other.
“Oh, I came up slowly. I was just lucky.”
“I know.”
Yuma sighed and fired his sword. Marlon swung his sword around as if he had done well.
“Looks like little kids.”
“What are you? And even the knife was painted black. Who came to buy it?”
The horses were throwing roughly, but they were veterans who had rolled enough to roll.
“…Looking at the fact that he pulled out his sword first, it seems he has no intention of speaking. It’s okay to lose a few limbs, so capture them alive. Find out who’s behind it.”
When the leader of the party of mercenaries spoke, the mercenaries immediately formed a siege formation.
The four blades radiated sharp energy towards Yuma and Marlon.
A light blue sword aura hovered over the mercenaries’ swords.
“I didn’t know that all four of you were really sword experts. There is no Master.”
“I’m just fine. It’s done, our Yuma. Where did the momentum to beat me to death go?”
Upon hearing the name ‘Mero’, a mercenary reacted.
“If it’s Mero, then that peck knight? Don’t you think that we can win even if you beat that asshole?”
Even among the mercenaries, Mero was a hot figure in many ways. Yuma was deeply impressed with Mero’s strange ripple effect.
“You guys talk too much.
Is it because it’s trash?”
When Marlon provoked, the mercenaries grinned and let out blood.
“Don’t even dream of dying gracefully, kid.”
“You’re hot.”
Uung- The leader’s sword began to glow more blue.
The rest of the mercenaries then slowly advanced towards Yuma and Marlon.
Yuma felt a sense of pride when he saw Malone deliberately provoking and inducing the enemies to catch their guard.
He had grown up a little from a kid who knew he would just run into it stupidly.
“You are elated. What a great thing.”
Yuma and Marlon also wore sword auras at the same time.
Marlon’s sword aura was a bit thicker than when he was in front of the headquarters of the Black Wolf.
Thanks to the six people’s blue sword aura, the surroundings became bright.
The mercenaries were very nervous when they saw Yuma and Marlon’s sword aura.
It’s amazing that boys who don’t look like they’ll be 20 years old are using sword auras, but it’s even darker than that of the boss.
However, the leader calmly ordered a response with a hand signal. Although they were possessors of extremely embarrassing abilities, the opponent was a boy anyway.
He didn’t know what kind of training he received to use that level of sword aura, but one thing was certain.
Lack of experience.
He had no war or combat experience. I hadn’t heard of any rumors about young boys using sword auras.
“I have the left two.”
said Yuma. The boss was on the right two.
“I get it. If it’s too much, send another one.”
“The bluff. Don’t get hurt while maintaining your form.”
“What is the fight about?”
“First bread victory.”
It was Marlon who rushed in first.
Marlon held the blade close to the back of his shoulder and aimed at the leader in a low position.
“Oh, that’s not good.”
Marlon was in the middle of practicing ‘Shin Shorthand’ after his confrontation with Yuma. A technology where phenomenal speed, like teleportation, is the key.
I thought about asking Yuma for advice, but somehow it hurt my pride.
visor!
The leader skillfully wielded his sword to hinder Marlon’s approach.
It only blocked the first attack, but that was enough to gauge Marlon’s skill. It’s just hard to accept.
Marlon stabbed and slashed as if driving without rest.
Neither one of them was powerful, but it was difficult to distinguish between imaginary and trickery.
The leader took a step back and received Malone’s attack.
Another mercenary that Marlon had chosen to take charge of Marlon’s waist and lower body aimed at him with a sword from the side. It was an angle that could not be avoided by twisting the body.
‘It was cut!’
The mercenary thought so, but Marlon instantly retrieved the sword he had been stabbing at the boss and bounced off the mercenary’s sword with a pom-melo.
The pommel struck a blade that had come in from almost a blind spot… The mercenary doubted what he had just seen.
While the other mercenaries hesitated, embarrassed by Marlon’s fierce attack and skill, Yuma also reversed his sword and prepared for an attack.
After becoming a eunuch and putting down the sword, I imagined countless duels and battles, and countless skills.
For some reason, Yuma seemed to be able to use it right away, as if he had actually mastered all of it.
Unlike Marlon, Yuma just walked toward the mercenaries.
Seeing Yuma slowly approaching them with her posture slightly lowered, the mercenaries felt a sense of pressure for some reason.
Just a minute ago, they were in a position to press and narrow the siege, but the situation was reversed in an instant.
More than anything, for some reason, I felt like it wouldn’t work no matter how I attacked.
Yuma didn’t show anything as flashy as Malone, but the mercenaries couldn’t carelessly hit first.
The speedy skill, which consumed a lot of stamina, was a waste of time to use against such mercenaries.
“You’re like a fucking kid!”
A mercenary tried to attack Yuma first, as if he couldn’t hold his pride anymore.
Yuma turned and moved horizontally, following the direction the sword was swung.
Yuma, who grabbed the side of the mercenary while rotating one turn, used the recoil to pierce the mercenary’s neck with the sword he held in reverse.
skeet.
The sword, shining with the blue sword aura, cut off the mercenary’s breath as gently as water.
Perhaps it was because he had been involved in the deaths of so many people while serving as a eunuch, but he didn’t feel anything special.
Retrieving the sword, Yuma slowly walked towards the rest of the mercenaries.
“Are you done already?”
“You devilish bastards! What the hell, who made it! Did you kill Hanson too?”
The leader who witnessed the death of his comrades shouted. He barely managed to block Marlon’s attack, but only managed to avoid a fatal wound.
Blood was flowing from the large and small wounds Marlon had inflicted on her.
He was taking a breath, keeping his distance from Marlon.
“If it was a sentry outside, it would be dead. We have some friends out there.”
Yuma answered in a calm voice.
“Are you mercenaries too?”
“I have no obligation to answer. Why don’t you care about your life.”
“Let’s negotiate. If it’s money, we can give it.”
“I can’t give you more money than the treasure inside.”
“Is there a grudge against the Shurell family? We, too, are just bodies caught in the Shurell family. The family is tied to the Shurell family, so they’re forced to do this. Shurel will tell you the date of the noble’s arrival. If you join hands with us, you can easily kill them.”
“I am so amazed. Did I do some research too? Other than talking about your family, the notoriety you’ve built up over the years isn’t a joke, is it?”
Yuma sighed and looked at the dead mercenary for a while.
“And you are a mercenary? What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden? Is that why you’re asking me to take care of you because I’m pitiful?”
“We are going to negotiate.”
“We don’t have any grudge against the Shurell family. Negotiations to freeze to death go to hell and find out. End Marlon.”
Before he could answer, the leader’s head dropped.
Marlon shook his sword vigorously once and roughly brushed the blood off the blade.
The two remaining mercenaries had already lost their will to fight.
Marlon was expecting a little after hearing that they were the five sod experts guarding the secret warehouse, but he thought they were no different from ordinary mercenaries.
The other two were quickly taken care of by Marlon.
“Stupid bastards. That’s why, if we had known from the time we came up, we should have shot and killed them right away. Do at least one damage. If it were our mercenary group, I’m sure you would have done that.”
Marlon said in frustration.
He bent down slightly and rubbed the sword on the corpse’s clothes to wipe away the blood. Yuma wiped his sword with the cloth he had brought.
“Yugir Cindy!”
When Yuma called, they who had been waiting climbed up to the castle on a rope. Yugire easily climbed the rope while holding Cindy with one hand.
“oh. processing the first day. clean. depending on.”
Yugir said, scanning the scene inside the cavity.
He inspected the corpse of the mercenary, who had been stabbed in the throat especially neatly.
After confirming that the Sword Expert class mercenary had gone to the other world without a trace of defense, Yugire asked whose work it was. It was a mercenary whom Yuma stabbed and killed with his sword.
“It’s Marlon.”
“Marlon. Great “Well then!”
Realizing that Yuma must have thoughts, Marlon also just matched the rhythm. He also thought that he could do that if he put his mind to it anyway.
Goseong was not such a big castle. It was not difficult to find a space that was assumed to be a warehouse.
It was up to Yugire to open the huge locked warehouse door.
The door with all kinds of magic devices attached to it was made of incredibly thick steel.
Marlon wrapped his sword aura around and hit the storage handle, but it didn’t budge.
“knife. It goes bad. come out.”
Yugire took out his grandbow and fired three giant iron arrows at once.
“Get out of the way. kids. female.”
‘That’s three shots at once…? Are you human? Huck r Even Yugire concentrated for a moment to raise his energy, and three iron arrows shone brightly.
Considering that its size was incomparable to a normal arrow, it was an aura operation that made me speechless.
Fur Young!
As soon as the arrow left the demonstration, there was a tremendous roar and the surroundings of the group vibrated slightly.
As the dust and smoke settled, the iron gates were gone, leaving only traces.
Inside the warehouse, as Cindy had said, there was a fair amount of gold coins in it.
However, everyone in the party couldn’t keep their mouth shut because of Yugir’s amazing strength, not because of the gold coins.
“How do you do that…?”
Marlon asked with the look of a hero he admired.
“you guys. yet. young. If it’s big, it’s done.”
Yuma thought about the future while roughly measuring the gold coins with his eyesight.
